PICKETT'S MILLS.
The Story of the Battle as Told
by Ma. i.-Gen. Thos. ]. Wood.
NEXT WEEK.

The account of the battle Of Pickett's
Mills, by Major-Gen. Thomas j. Wood,
which win appear next week, is one of
the best-told narratives Of an action that
has ever appeared anywhere The author
commanded in that sanguinary fight, but be
tells the story with Characteristic modesty,
oOnfning himself 10 a description Of what
the units of his command attempted and
achieved, and ascribing all the honor to
them. it was splendidly fought on both
sides, and our soldiers and officers all did
their whole duty. 1t is the first time that
so extended a description has been given Of
that engagement, and il is of particular
valEe that this description is by the most
prominent actor in the affair, and whose
reputation as a soldier was greatly enhanced
by his management of his troops.

THE LOGAN MONUMENT.
List of Contributors to the Fund for
Building It.

The following is list Of the contributors
to the Logan Monument Fund up to date.
This is the first response of the grateful COM
rades to the appeal to them to show in some
substantial way their affectionate remem-
brance of their illustrious comrade, and the
man to whom they all owe so much. 1t is
only beginning, however, and before the
close Of the year we should hear from every
man and woman in the United States who
bonors the loyal zeal and the unfinching
courage displayed by the greatest of all the
volunteers in fighting the battles of the
country. Every man who wore the blue,
and every father, mother, sister, wife, widow
and child of man who, like John A. Lo-
gan, left his home and its endearments to
battle for the flag, should be represented in
this testimonial. Everybody can give some
thing, and everybody should unite in max
ing memorial that will testify to all COM
ing time to the nobility of the American
volunteer. Let the response be immediate
from Maine to California.

lying around with his eyes open, ready
to gObble up the road when it is finished
and yearns for receiver. He has the
ready cash, for he has made many profit
able deals in st. Paul and Minneapolis
real estate during the past two years.
j. B. BrOwerancher is versatile gen.
tleman who Tugs around a sample case
for Anthony Kelly & Co., Minneapolis.
His rhythmic name he threatens to have
set to music by some renowned COM
poser for the purpose of singing it to
his customers when he.wantS to charm
them into buying big bill OF goods.
He is not demOnStrative man, but he
did kick few weeks ago, when a con-
ductOr wanted to charge him excess
baggage on his name. He is ruStler
from the word go, and after an active
season, in which he has sold big stack
of goods, he is enjoying weeks vaca-
ton.
Robert Ferguson is now doing the
city trade of Minneapolis for the Bren-
her Cracker company. Bob, the boys
call him for short, and he seems to like
the name. Sometimes man who wants to
borrow dollar or buy ton of crackers
on long time addresses him as Mr.. Fer
guSon, and then there is sound as of
bles. There is nothing in the name of
Ferguson to be ashamed of, but Bob
prefers to have people leave it out eX-
cepting when they talk to him via a pos
tai card or letter. He is an excellent
judge of crackers, and at glance can
tell the large red fire cracker from the
pale, undemOnStrative soda article.
Frank Freer is a clean cut individual,
who wears diamonds and other eXpen-

He looks clean probably because he
travels for the Minnesota Soap COM
pany. st. Paul, and he doesn't wear dia-
mondS principally because they would
give his customers the impression that
he was the soap company and not SIM
ply the gentlemanly representative.
He is an ambitious man in his particu-
lar field, and,it is alleged, lectures in an
interesting manner on Rose Queen soap
while he is asleep. People occupying
the same sleeping car that Frank does
often think he is going crazy over some
girl when they hear him mumbling
about Rose and queen.
Charley Graham represents Charley
Croft, st. Paul, and is looking after the
city trade of st. Paul and Minneapolis.
Charley used to walk around just like
the ordinary travelling man, with a sam
pie case in his clutch, but he has risen
somewhat, and now drives around
among his customers in slick-looking
buggy with red wheels, drawn by
long gated horse to match. To say
say that he is flying high is drawing it
mildly; he is simply soaring aloft until
the tips of his gilded wings clatter
against the blue dome of heaven, and
the angels look down from their high
perch with envious chances and in

after supper, being rather tired, he went
to bed. He soon fell asleep, but how
long he slumbered he has no recollec-
ton. He was suddenly awakened by
terrible racket that seemed to come
from one corner Of the room. He got
up, and striking match, saw
large rat engaged in mortal combat with
bed bug. Jim climbed up and made
clothes-pin of himself on the head
board of the bedstead, and from his un-
comfortable seat watched the drift of
battle. Standing on its rear legs the
bug would clasp the rat with its fore
legs and squeeze it till the poor thing
would run out its tongue and squeal
like pig. Jim watched the fight about
fifteen minutes, when, becoming eXaS-
perated at the cruel treatment the rat
was being subjected to, he climbed
down from the head-board, and picking
up chair threw it at the fighting YER
min. The noise attracted the attention
of the bug, and the rat escaped into his
hole. Jim managed after a while to get
the chair out of the grip of the bug and
killed it. He had the skin stuffed and
took it home as a memento. The bug
weighed two pounds and a quarter and
had claws two inches long.
The man represented by the diagram
at the head of this column is responsible
